Windows Mobile browser that supports flash - General Questions and Answers

Is there any browser that supports adobe flash?
I tried skyfire but it won't let you type in the flash app...
Thanks ahead

Try Opera.

Think Opera would be your best bet...check out the Opera sticky's in the General section.

Internet explore is the best browser so far, it is the only browser which can handle flash objects perfectly till now. Offcourse opera can do but not better than internet explorer.
Also note that:
Internet explorer 6 only supports flash that is wm 6.5 and above Better is build 28xxx.
Another thing internet explorer loads page slower as it has no server side optimization.

browser and flash player
I recently discovered skyfire. It is supported on all windows 6.x versions and on touch and non touch screens. Its working very nicely on my touch HD.... hmmm... let me rephrase that.. It works not too bad. You tube videos were moving and for the most part the audio and video was in sync. the video was choppy but could still be followed.

Whats the best browser for ppc

I've been using opera on the htc diamond but I notice that it just keeps crashing when I try to go onto some sites like logmein. I use to be able to go on most of these sites if memory serves when I was using my vario2, but I can't remember what browser I was using.
In my experience Opera mobile is the best I ever used, and works perfect on my Uni
Opera Mini!
Opera Mini 4.2. Opera Mobile cannot hold a candle to this one - yeah the Mini is server-side cached, etc. but doesnt matter because the render fidelity is pretty good for almost 90% of the browsing experience.
SUPER FAST !!! SPEED SPEED SPEED!
Another vote for opera mini here. I do 99% of my mobile browsing on it. It may be a bit limited feature-wise, but for simple navigation and viewing there is nothing faster.
Check out Shiranmotha's all-in-one cab installer.
For me Opera Mini is the best browser for ppc.
skyfire is pretty decent
I actually use both Opera and Skyfire. Opera still has some bugs on some websites. But i mostly use Opera because of how fast it is Skyfire takes too long to load a website.
Just installed opera mini but is it just me or does it allow you to zoom in when using the htc diamond circle button?

Flash support for opera or IE

Hi, can anyone watch flash videos on either opera or internet explorer? My youtube app works fine but i can't seem to view youtube videos through the browser itself.
Thanks
I've installed flash player 7 for ppc and it works. But not everywhere and in IE only. Some videos don't support this version.
open your browser in your d2, go to : m.skyfire.com....download, install and enjoy
greetz, Werner
It can't create connection, when I'm on wifi. Do you know why ? Thanks

The newest version of flash lite for WM5/6 is Flash Lite 3.1 (same for Symbian). You can download it from: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/distributableplayer.html
Look for: "Download the Developer edition for Windows Mobile 6 Professional (ZIP, 928 KB)", on the bottom of page.
It working very well in Opera Mobile, even playing flash movie.
Flash video
Why don't you try to write: m.youtube.com instead then www.youtube.com you will see that the streaming media will open and play your video. Very simple. take care
Playing videos and browser
The best browser on the planet to play any video is SkyFire...I open even Rainews24...is better then Opera then you can try with Iris browser is very fast or Bolt or NetFront or Mach 5 accelerator is very fast too, they are all very good browsers....Unfortunately Microsoft cracked down on DeepFish that one was very good....But don't to worry soon or later Flash 10 will go out on the market the thing is The Market don't want stop the selling of IPhone....and Iphone is not ready yet for Flash 10...all Windows Mobile are ready
Can you image Flash 10 on Windows Mobile this month? Apple businessmen will kill them self...Iphone is simply not compatible.

Maby it is good browser but not for VGA and WVGA units. Until they not switch their servers for resolution different than QVGA it will not be the best browser.
this does not work on my diamond2
For Opera Mobile you simply need a DLL file and add an extra line into opera.ini/opera1.ini!
I've attached the DLL for you! Just remove the ".zip" after downloading the file for proper usage!
Copy the DLL file to \Windows\Opera9\plugins (if the folder doesn't exsist, create it) and add this into your opera.ini/opera1.ini in the "User Prefs" section:
Code:
NS Plugin Path=\Windows\Opera9\plugins\NPFL3ppc.dll

You mean we have to first install Flash Lite 3.1 and then go through this procedure? Or we do it directly, without installing Flash Lite at all?
Can anyone with Opera Mobile and flash installed visit www.letour.fr and tell me whether it works for him/her? My Opera always crashes.

I've installed flash player and flash lite and opera didn't crash on that site, however I can't see flash videos, yellow area is there only.
I tried all the solutions suggested in this forum, but no luck with my Flash in Opera... Too bad...

FlashLite 3.1 must be installed, I think! In most of my ROMs is Adobe Flash in the SYS part so I think yes, it must be installed!
I tried it with Opera installled... No luck!
IE mobile 5 + FlashLite3.1 Can play flashvideo, IE mobile 6 can't

Best browser.

Can some one tell me what is the best internet browser with pinch touch, or should I just keep opera and get a tweek?

Best browsers, but both without pinch to zoom: Opera Mobile 10 (stable, smooth, reasonably fast) and Opera Mini 5 Native WM (some bugs, smooth, incredibly fast).
You can add pinch to zoom for both apps with BSB Tweaks, but not natively. It will not actually zoom the webpage, but rather the whole application!
Ok mate thanks for that.
keep the one you already have..
Yeah I am going to.
i like skyfire!
Opera is the best IMo...but Skyfire good for certain flash video websites

Any Opera Plugin to view embedded vidoe or flash?

Is there such thing to install so I can view embedded video or flash directly in Opera web browser? I can view the video in IE, but not in Opera.
Thanks.

tip|how to browse smoother than wp7/iphone on android...

anyone probably noticed that android isn't really smooth in browsing unlike the iphone or the wp7...
and there is a simple reason for that! it is the rendering technique of the page.
iphone/wp7(and some new android phones like the sgs2) simply view the internet as a photo and when you zoom or scroll it is not a problem for the device to maintain 60 fps, 1 render(unless you zoom) and then you have no problem moving it.
However, android(stock browsers by google or others found in the play market) uses a different technique they actually show you the web as it is! means it shows you the vectoric form of stuff instead of rasterizing it into a big bitmap.
hence android is CONSTANTLY rendering the web when you move it so it is very hard for a simple device to load and maintain a nice and steady 60 fps(or even 20).
solution: hey why dont we make android do the same?
oh yes you can do that! and even better than the iphone does(the iphone will freeze for 1-5 seconds if you zoom in and out rapidly on heavy sites like yt and other desktop pages android don't) Opera mini does that
and perfectly good!
so every device running android can be smooth as well by using opera mini (next)
(not mobile... mini... mobile uses vectoric graphics too)
pros: ultra smooth! and you still have this fast android scrolling!
cons: no flash(par wth iphone). and sites load as mobile by default and might be shown wrong due to sever compression...
you having a big and powerfull device? you dont have to do this... just get boat browser and you will enjoy fast and vectoric browsing... without the cons of raterized browsing.
boat is the complete browsing experience imo...
btw in boat you can pan and zoom togather with 2 fingers(unlike opera and other browsers)
HAVE FUN!
The server-side website compression of opera mini makes the pages look terrible.. but maybe that's just me.

nope.. thats totally true.
opera makes your browsing experience worst.
Try Opera Mobile.
It doesn't need server side compression yet it is as smooth.
nope

didnt encounter much of problems... only in some rare ocassions(full yt and sites that have moving bars as the yt bar of playlists)
otherwise opera mini does the same as ios safari.
but scrolls android fast one fling for a page not a fling for 0.1 page.
btw in opera mobile you can disable that... in mini not...
also i gave you the boat browser alternative in case you dont have a super slow device...
i wish they could just make opera mobile or even boat browser with the mini's rendering engine!
no it's not...

its not smooth at all and wow i just loooove black blank screen on my device!
or that it doesnt work on ics or that the last update ruined it(wanted to dl it again and see if its smooth... apparantly it ruines the web surfing completely!)
all i see is white screen with opera mobile and than black screen with status bar...(used to work fine but not as smooth as the mini... not same gpu accelerated rendering methods)
